Indeed, and I agree with you mate, just made me laugh that’s all, the way you’d written it.
For some reason it got me thinking of this, which I don’t need much excuse whatsoever to post ;-)

Bizarrely I have a turtleneck just like that, but not the German accent. Love Dad's Army, it always reminds me of the civil service. Anyway back to football,

Newcastle 1-2 City

The infamous "strongest side". That all depends who's picking it. Fans will have both similar and dissimilar views, so whoever is picked, Pep will never win.

True but no need to play an obviously weakened side, the Liverpool game isn't important, they'll beat most/all of our records in winning it, regardless of if we beat them
 
Stones out of today’s game. Ankle injury in training apparently seems bollocks to me. Gotta be more going on behind the scenes surely. Whenever he does play he’s confidence looks torn to shreds

An obviously weakened side is in the eyes of the fans. Do you genuinely believe Pep v would field a deliberately weakened team when we are trying to gain momentum approaching the cup ties?
 
Hopefully no complacency and a win this evening. Don’t want to lose the FA Cup a few days after losing the league all the same.

Don’t think the players were really bothered about the Chelsea result. They knew the league had gone. From the KDB interview it sounds as if they really want the FA cup & - of course - the corrupt CL!!

your right the chelsea game was a puzzle starting 11 and KDB should have been rested or taken off at halftime
i just hope the newcastle game can left the players.because it would have hurt to lose the title to liverpool ? even if everybody is coming out saying good things ? the city squad and manager must be hurting because of a lot of shit that when on this season

we must treat the FA cup like its the world cup give it all the respect and play our best 11 ? forget playing our 2nd choice keeper and youth. we need to win this game or we have nothing else to play for until august

Well KDB will have to once again be the driving force this evening.

Think I would play x3 at the back tonight.Laporte Otamendi Walker
Walker more centrally than usual, so can cover centrally with pace.

Ederson
Walker Otamendi Laporte
Bernardo Rodri Zinchenko
KDB
Mahrez Foden
Sterling/Jesus
